The former IPS officer who was the BJP's chief ministerial candidate in 2015 said that it was vote for change, a vote for overhauling, all of Delhi was seeking an overhaul. "Delhi was in a state of decay and decline and they checked this.. schemes like swacch abhiyaan and other central schemes there were put in place in other places why were they stopped in Delhi?

The Congress, which was hoping for a revival in the national capital, again failed to win any seat. The party, which ruled Delhi for 15 years from 1998, registered a hat-trick zero tally in the assembly polls.
